The people who end up taking these decisions would hardly know the ground reality, passenger profile and so on. They may just look at the system data and hope that some passengers will upgrade to the next higher class . I think there is pressure for increasing revenues and whatever Railway board instructs, zones just seem to follow without even advising or informing the board whether it is right or wrong.
The biggest losers are sleeper class passengers who despite making reservations months in advance end up travelling in coaches which resemble general compartments.

Game over
Already NGP Vande Bharat running with less pax
DHN Double Decker exp went loss

Yes from a recent data it clearly shows occupancy of Nagpur Vandebharat is the lowest at about 53%. Clearly shows that every route is unique. Not everywhere will people spend excessively on AC travel. Some routes will clearly have non AC travel as a preferred option
